Guía de cuidados

Plant in full sun in a warm, sheltered position in well-drained soil. Needs warmth to flower well. Water regularly during dry periods. Moderately hardy — in colder areas, shelter or container growing is advisable.

Consejos de poda

Prune in late winter (February-March) by shortening the previous year's shoots to two or three buds. This encourages larger flower clusters. Remove dead wood and crossing branches. The distinctive bark is best displayed with a raised crown.
